Ever felt stuck between wondering if it’s time to move on from your job or if you’re simply exhausted? You’re not alone. It’s a question so many of us wrestle with, especially as we get closer to the end of the year. Our lives become busier as we try and squeeze more in before the 31st December deadline we give ourselves to have ‘everything’ done by!

In this episode, I’m unpacking the key signs to help you figure out whether your current role is still the right fit for you, OR if it’s simply time for a much-needed rest.

These questions can help you decide if you’re feeling burnt out or genuinely need a change at work: 

1. What specifically is it that I am feeling with regards to my job? Is what I am feeling now been persistent ALL year, or is it just in the last few weeks or months? The Feelings Wheel, the brainchild of Dr. Gloria Willcox is a great tool to help you put words to your emotions and to care for your mental health. https://www.calm.com/blog/the-feelings-wheel 

2. What specifically feel like the main stressors? Is it a particular project you’re on at work, a particular team member, or is the volume of seasonal tasks that are causing you stress? This will help you work out if this is an ongoing issue, and therefore may mean a review of your job or organisation versus a seasonal period, or just being tired.  

3. What physical and emotional signs can you see in myself? What does that look like? E.g. difficulty focussing, cynicism, always tired, even if you slept, irritability. 

And here are the 5 steps I’m talking about to help you Reset, Refocus and Recharge for 2025:

1. Watch Out for “Obligation Overload” and Cut the Comparison - Take stock of your commitments in every part of your life—are they essential, energising, or just empty obligations? What can go?

2. Check Your Circle - Look at the people around you. Who gives you energy, and who drains it? 

3.  Saying YES to something is a no to something else - get clear on what you are really saying NO to when you say yes. 

4. Do one thing for yourself each day and stick to it - it doesn't need to be costly or time consuming - a coffee at your favourite cafe on the way to work, listening to a podcast on the train you like, standing in the sun for 5 minutes; make it yours and commit. 

5. Pause and Process - Can you take some space over the break to breathe, reflect and recover - then perhaps make the decision in the new year about what the right next step is?

Ever wish you knew then what you know now? In this episode, I’m sharing the top 5 career lessons I’ve learned the hard way, so you don’t have to make the same mistakes. From trusting your gut, to learning how to communicate (and network) like a pro, these insights have shaped my career journey and could make a huge difference in yours too. 

Here’s what I’m covering in this episode:

💡 Lesson 1: Hard work alone won’t speak for itself – you need to share your wins, but you can do it strategically!! 💡 Lesson 2: Don’t expect your manager to be a mind reader – you have to own your own career path. 💡 Lesson 3: How you communicate is just as important as what you communicate. 💡 Lesson 4: Nurture relationships and networks throughout your career, not just when you need something. 💡 Lesson 5: Not all advice is created equal – know yourself and filter what you choose to listen to.

Let’s get real – is the To-Do List ever really done?

After a whirlwind few months of book launches, client work, and events, I’m here to say "Ahhh, hell no... it’s not" – which means WE have to get better at building in brain breaks and setting boundaries to ensure we can show up as our most effective, impactful selves.

In this latest episode of Eating Your Cake Too, I’m diving into the habits we need to unlearn if we want to stop running ourselves into the ground, both in business and in life. I’ll share what I’ve learned about productivity, creativity, and the real value of rest, along with the better habits I’m building into my own business.

Here’s what we’re covering in this episode:

🛑 The unhealthy habits I’m unlearning:

• Pushing through at all costs and how it leads to exhaustion.

• Compromising creativity and quality for unnecessary urgency.

• Treating rest as a reward, rather than an essential part of high performance.

✅ The better habits I’m embracing:

• Building “brain breathers” into my business processes.

• Understanding rest as a key ingredient for high performance.

• Setting and keeping strong boundaries, even when others don’t.

Listen in on your favourite podcast platform to learn more about these simple yet powerful shifts that’ll help you build a career where you thrive, not just survive.

 “I’d love to see you leverage your strengths more in this role”. 

“Just play to your strengths - the rest will follow”. 

Ever had or heard feedback like this before? 

It’s not wrong, but it isn’t overly helpful either. 

What is often lacking in this conventional advice about strengths play, is the actual “HOW TO” of playing to your strengths to achieve outcomes for yourself, your team, and your organisation.

My view on this is that there are actually FOUR critical parts that form part of the ‘play to your strengths’ equation, and all four need to be in sync in order for you to be effective. 

Here’s my formula on what it really takes to play to your strengths well: 

Know them + Own them + Leverage them + Know the point of reverse impact 

In this month's podcast, I dive deep into the formula above and give you practical insights as to what it means to know, own, leverage, and know the reverse point of impact in order to increase your impact at work.

Female financial literacy is a topic that is gaining conversation and momentum.  Recently coming to light the alarming statistic that the fastest growing group to experience homelessness in Australia is women aged 50+.  Ladies, it's time to know your numbers!

I am beyond pumped to have Molly Benjamin on the Eating Your Cake Too Podcast, showing us finance can be fun!

There is no better advocate than Molly as she shares her personal journey with us.  She was that young woman who spent everything, had a great time too!  Molly’s lightbulb moment was she didn’t have a financial goal or understood a lot about finance, and realised she had a lot of company!  A London lounge room, pizza, wine, friends, a finance expert friend and Ladies Finance Club was born!

Molly shares her thoughts and insights with us by breaking finance down for us into bite size chunks, whether it's personal finance or your career.  Getting on top of your finances is about understanding your beliefs about money, keeping things as small, but achievable steps, being consistent, having a community around you and a dash of accountability on the side.  

This is just a taster!  Tune into the podcast for more.
